mike rousseau Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 So the other day I was out fishing when I noticed something in some marsh grass... I figured I'd check it out... You never know what you'll find... Especially around here... So I pulled up and wouldn't you know it... It was a COW!!!! Dead of course... Apparently a farm lost 14 through the ice last winter.... I notified the authorities and gave them the location... I figured 1 good storm and there might be a big black and white hazard floating around for boaters...
fishindevil Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 Wow !!!! I'm suprised the animals have not been busy at it ?? That's quite a loss for the farmer that's for sure !!!! I wonder what they will do about it ... And where are all the other ones he lost ??
Rod Caster Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Ugh...dead bloated cow. haha you see/experience some weird stuff Mike.
danc Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Geez. It's been a couple of years since I came across a dead cow while fishing. Nice find Mike!
Moosebunk Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Was expecting to see a big ole carp, not a cow. Flip 'er in the river and let the muskies get at it. They'll be what they eat.

I wonder what they will do about it ... And where are all the other ones he lost ?? Usually anything like this that goes through the ice in the winter they end up finding at the next dam down river..... Just this one somehow got beached in a patch of grass... I called local PD and they gave me the OPP number... But OPP said it wasn't their jurisdiction... But they would pass along the info the the Akwasasne police... But 3 days later it was still there....
Radnine Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Apparently a farm lost 14 through the ice last winter.... I notified the authorities and gave them the location... ... Any farm that tries to raise their cows on ice deserved to lose then if you ask me. Now, if they grew rye on ice, with ginger ale and a shot of Club Soda, that would be clever, but cows on ice....were they trying to make ice cream? Farmers don't feed cities, corporations do. This picture goes to prove that farmers feed streams. Jim Edited May 11, 2013 by Radnine
Joey Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Well that's certainly something you don't see every day!!
c_shep Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 I stumbled across a dead bloated dairy cow as well but on a small trib last year stateside while searching for steelies. Nasty stuff. Ches
Jigs Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 Weird. I saw one (or what was left of it) in the Channel last year around St-Anicet. I think it was around Mid May as well. Saw it from a hundred feet away and went and took a closer look. Pretty bloated and nasty looking.
mercman Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Get a couple of big trebles Mike, and add a big lip and some flash-a-boo. i know theres some monsters in there waiting for a snack like this.
aplumma Posted May 15, 2013 Report Posted May 15, 2013 I once found a drowned cow on the river tangled in the brush. I fished downstream from them and we caught a whole herd of catfish. Art
